Hopper X Vermeer

Director Annie Dautane orchestrates a layered visual dialogue between Hopper’s stark urban offices and Vermeer’s luminous domestic interiors, revealing how both artists transform quiet, private moments into emotionally resonant experiences. Through archival footage, expert commentary, and striking side-by-side comparisons, this film explores how light, composition, and silent narrative become tools for evoking presence within absence.
Works like "New York Office" and "Woman in Blue Reading a Letter" emerge not merely as studies in isolation, but as intimate portraits of stillness, longing, and observation. What unfolds is a meditation on the emotional undercurrents of everyday spaces. Viewers leave with a sharpened sense of how art can transcend its era, offering a quiet, enduring conversation across time.
